The following Golden rules are applicable when engaging with BCX regarding the provision of services, solutions and/or products:

• Suppliers may not engage with BCX without a valid purchase order.
• Tax invoices without a valid purchase order number will be rejected and a new invoice will need to be issued from the date upon which the valid invoice is received.
• Delivery of services, solutions and/or products will only commence once a valid Purchase Order Number has been provided.
• A Purchase Order Number will only be created by BCX on the submission and approval of a valid quotation, cost estimate or contract.
• Delivery notes must reflect the Purchase order number and quoted material numbers and products. Kindly contact the relevant buyer should the material numbers change prior to delivery at BCX offices.
• After the completion or delivery of a service, solution, or product the supplier must submit a valid tax certificate (invoice).

  ✓ In the case where the supplier is registered for VAT, the cost breakdown on the Tax certificate must indicate the VAT amount
• Material numbers reflected on delivery notes and invoices must correlate to the purchase order to prevent rejection of the delivery and invoice.
